 The Pennsylvania Quarter is the second quarter among the 50 States Commemorative Quarters released by the U.S. Mint. Above is the rear of the coin. According to the U.S. Mint's official website, The Pennsylvania Quarter has a "Commonwealth," the statue which is atop the Pennsylvania capital dome, an outline of the state, the state motto and a keystone. This design was chosen because it will educate people about the founding principles of Pennsylvania. "Commonwealth" is a bronze gilded 14-foot-six-inch high female form that has topped the capital dome since May 25, 1905. The statue faces west, and balances on a gilt ball about 250 feet above street level. Her right arm extends in mercy; her left arm grasps a ribbon mace to symbolize justice. "Commonwealth" was designed by Roland Hinton Perry, a New York City sculptor. Perry designed her under commission as the symbolic embodiment of The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The actual statue is currently under restoration and will be returned to her place in September.
